the only difference is that i grew up in an environment that was a little bit more forgiving. so when i made a mistake, the consequences were not as severe. i had people who encouraged me and not just my mom and grandparents, but teachers and community leaders. they pushed me to work hard and study hard and make the most of myself. if i didn't listen, they said it again. if i didn't listen, they said it a third time and they would give me second chances and third chances. they never gave up on me. so i didn't give up on myself. i told these young men my story then and i repeat it now because i firmly believe that every child deserves the same chances that i had. that's why we are here today. to do what we can in this year of action to give more young americans the support they need to make good choices. to be resilient and overcome obstacles. achieve their dreams. this is an issue of national importance. this is as important as any issue that i work on. it's an issue that goes to the very heart of why i ran for president. because if america stands for anything, it stands for t

eliminating affirmative action creates a different type of environment on campus. it decreases the number of protections on campuses, makes it more difficult to raise targets. we have convinced ourselves that acknowledging the existence of racist is racism, that their are black people on campus and having programs designed to protect their interests and their well-being on campus is a bad thing. as a result of all of that, in this anti-affirmative action sentiment, we see the rise of discrimination, complaints and more and more isolation of students. we need to acknowledge race is okay, acknowledge difference and invest in difference. having a diverse campus isn't just to the benefit of black kids. it also helps the white kids. it makes everybody smarter and better when we have a diverse world. >> thanks to you all. appreciate it.

i didn't know what the environment was going to be like in the jail. he was very helpful. he came with me. and just every step i took towards the room. i remembered every thing that happened on february 20th. i was in so much pain. i had memories of my son. we walked in the room and i face the wall because at that moment, i was still thinking whether i really wanted to face this man or not. the minute they told me he entered the room, i turned around and i did not know what was going to happen. the minute i saw him and i looked so close to his eyes, i saw the evil in him. i saw no remorse and i saw that he was not really sorry. i wanted to tell him in person what my son goes through every day. >> what does your son go through every day? you told us every day you watch your son die. every morning you rush to your son's side because why? >> we live moment by moment with my son because he can suddenly just get sick. he doesn't give a sign that he is going to get sick, but he can get sick to the point where his oxygen drops. we have time to rush him to the er. we call the ambu

it usually doesn't lead to a better environment to resolve differences. >> how much more complex now does the diplomatic situation become because of the decision by crimea's new leaders to have this referendum on march 16th about whether or not crimea should join russia? >> i think this is provocative action and going to complicate matters greatly. i find it extremely interesting that the russian government seems to be taking a position that it now supports separatism. separatism by minorities or groups that don't like what essential government is doing. that is not been the russian position on most issues in the past. so that's one thing that's very strange. i also agree that if we get some kind of vote in crimea, however it's arranged or whatever terms it takes place, it's going to complicate the efforts to find a diplomatic solution to this and restore ukrainian control over its total territory. that's going to have to be the objective that the the united states and europe support. >> it's certainly the objective to people here in kiev. james collins, i appreciate it. former ambas
